Upgrade notes
Here’s some important information you should know about before upgrading.
Remote agent wrapper update
To address some knows issues, we updated the Tanuki wrapper used for Bamboo remote agent. Bamboo 6.10 is released with new version of the wrapper. If you're an upgrading user, we strongly recommend that you reinstall the wrapper to benefit from all bug fixes.
To update the wrapper on a remote agent:
- Stop the original agent.
- Backup the
BAMBOO_AGENT_HOME/conf/wrapper.conffile. - Remove the
BAMBOO_AGENT_HOME/confdirectory. - Download a new Remote Agent JAR from your Bamboo Server:
http://<BAMBOO_URL>/admin/agent/addRemoteAgent.action - Launch the remote agent.
This will create a newwrapper.conffile. If you want to re-enact your custom configuration in that file, you can do it now.
Login credentials via URL parameters are disabled by default
Passing login credentials using URL parameters (os_username/os_password) is disabled by default from now on. To keep this functionality, you need to set the following property on Bamboo startup:
-Dbamboo.allow.url.parameters.login=trueNote that passing user credentials using URL parameters may lead to their accidental exposure and is not recommended. With Bamboo 6.10, we're introducing authentication tokens, which is an alternative and safe way to authenticate.
